Bucharest is full of sculptures, installations and compositions of a rare artistic quality, but none of these thousands of accidental works of art are signed by notable representatives of contemporary art. They have not been planned or commissioned; nor judged or budgeted for.
They are artistic accidents with a single common author — the people of Bucharest. They reflect the condition of a patchy city with many layers of asphalt. A city where no curbs or pipes are the same, vertical pedestrian markings are painted over horizontal ones, electrical cable tubes stick out of the ground, and where the maintenance work is never finished.
I took the first photo on April 18, 2014 and the last on December 1, 2021.
